That’s why he said roguelite. Semipermanency (being able to unlock upgrades for future runs) is the what separates the roguelite from a roguelike. In a roguelike, every run you start from 0, in a roguelike you unlock things that make differences in future runs (in the case of balatro: different decks, new jokers, …)

Hades is a roguelite.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a roguelike.
